Yes! White House Working Hard To Repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell!"

Something good is brewing in Washington D.C.!
It was proposed on Monday that the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military be sped up. Though no real timeline was given, the White House gave it’s backing to the proposal after meeting with gay rights activists.
That’s a step!
The White House budget office sent a supporting letter off to remove the Clinton-era policy as the Pentagon continues to review it. The ban on the policy will ultimately still need the approval of the Defense Secretary, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and of course, President Barack Obama. In the letter, written by budget chief Peter Orszag to serveal Democrats leading the push for the repeal, Peter said:

“The proposed amendment will allow for completion of the comprehensive review, enable the Department of Defense to assess the results of the review, and ensure that the implementation of the of the repeal is consistent with standards of military readiness, effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting and retention.”

Get it done! Get it done! Get it done!
